Chapter 339: The Mystery of the True Dragon, Forcing Qing Xuan to Marry (I)
Why Cihang Jingzhai chose to choose Li Shimin to become a real dragon is a question that countless people are puzzled about, and this success has cast a layer of mystery on Li Shimin and Cihang Jingzhai.
"What are the lies?"
"The lie is that Cihang Jingzhai has a far-reaching vision, you are not as good as them, so you have never been able to figure out the key points, maybe this group of nuns will look at the qi, will divination, and even watch the sky at night, and find that the will of heaven is in the second son of the Li family, so he chose to be today, so when today's son met evil along the way, and finally ascended to the throne. ”
Wu Yuan's words did not make Shi Zhixuan angry.
"Impossible, first of all, the two veins of Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for five hundred years, and everyone knows what means between the two sides, divination, hope, feng shui, etc. are just small paths, if this skill is really effective, why should the current emperor govern the world, find someone to kill the budding enemy.
From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, there are thousands of people who have the spirit of a true dragon pointed out by those gods, and most of them have not even left their names in history.
Those magic sticks were just blind people touching elephants, and they couldn't predict correctly at all—because they really predicted correctly, the emperor would cut off the enemy's head at the first time, just like the warriors were now killed. But if they can't predict accurately, what's the use of the emperor keeping them?"
"Yes, then the evil king really wants to hear the truth, it is really much heavier than you think, you may rather not hear my speculation. ”
Wu Yuan's eyes were full of compassion, and he glanced at the two monks not far away at the same time.
"Yes. ”
Shi Zhixuan nodded.
"Well, let me state first, this is my inference. For the present Buddha's door. I don't discriminate. It's just an interpretation of the past, and I hope that no one will disturb me when I explain it. ”
"Good!"
Shi Zhixuan's eyes looked at Wu Yuan, wanting to see what this person could say.
"Han Ming sought the Dharma, white horses came to the west, five hundred years ago, Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth. At that time, Taoism was the mainstream, but who would have thought that a hundred years later, Buddhism would actually overwhelm Taoism and become the first in the world, which is the mystery. Has the Evil King ever figured it out?"
"Please. ”
"The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the 500 years of war in the middle were the fundamental reasons why Buddhism could spread.
If we don't kill all the Han people who believe in Taoism, how can we make their descendants believe in Buddhism? If we don't let the world be in chaos and the people don't have a good livelihood, how can we let the people pray to God and worship Buddha in the midst of hardship?
When Buddhism came to the Central Plains, in the face of deep-rooted Taoism and Confucianism, they had no chance at all, and would only become a passing cloud like countless religions similar to Buddhism.
However, these 500 years of war have given Buddhism the best opportunity to spread the teachings of the scriptures.
Yes, Buddhism did not kill people, it was Hu people and war that killed people, but what difference does this make?
During the years of Hu control, those rulers were more brutal than the other, and countless hot-blooded people were killed, leaving behind only to survive for the next life, which is exactly in line with Buddhist teachings.
The law of Buddhism is good, there are six reincarnations, pay attention to suffering in this life and this life, and be blessed in the next life, in this case, it is exactly the law that those emperors want, so it is natural to respect Buddhism, to let Buddhism anesthetize the people, Hu people can be high, Han people just need to endure it, anyway, there is an afterlife, right? Of course, the emperor of the Han people also likes this religion, and it will naturally be promoted, so that the five hundred years of war and chaos have made Buddhism more and more prosperous, and since then it has taken root in Middle-earth. ”
"Babbling ......"
The senior monk of the Meditation Zen sect glared at Wu Yuan angrily, and at this time, he let out a muffled snort, and Shi Zhixuan knocked him unconscious with a palm.
"In the eyes of many people, in the past 500 years, Buddhism has been accepted by the people of Middle-earth by accumulating good deeds, and can compete with Taoism, but in fact, it is just the true appearance, and what can really make Buddhism flourish is the 500 years of war like hell.
The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
But why did the Buddha go deep into hell? If nothing else, he wanted to absorb believers in hell. In the endless hell of 500 years, Buddhism gathers endless believers, hell is not empty, and he vows not to become a Buddha, but who knows, without hell, where will the king of Jizo Bodhisattva come from?
Patience is as immobile as the earth, meditation is as deep as a secret, a man who buys shoes comes to an island, and the people on the island laugh at him, saying that no one wears shoes here, and in his eyes, there are no shoes sold here!
The beliefs of the Hu people are very rough, and this blank space just gives Buddhism a chance to spread. When Taoism, Demons, and Confucianism were dismissive of the Hu people, Buddhism had already made the upper echelons of the Hu people believe in Buddhism.
Killing tens of millions, you can also become a Buddha on the ground, so Buddhism with the help of the Hu people's raging, began to spread, when the butcher's knife waved, those who believe in Buddhism can avoid death, when the Buddhist monks save the people again and again in the name of compassion, when the people find that the upper class also believes in Buddhism, a qiē began to change.
In the past five hundred years, the Han people in this land have died from generation to generation, and from generation to generation, subtly, everyone's beliefs have slowly begun to change, and they have accepted Buddhism hundreds of years ago as a crooked and heretical way!
Time is a wonderful thing, beauty can become ugly, wrong can become right, five hundred years, although there are countless Buddhist believers, high monks and great virtues died in the war, but Buddhism is flourishing day by day, but it is a fact, Buddhism is not wrong, they have also saved countless people, this is the reward they deserve, there is no shame in becoming a Buddhist disciple. ”
Wu Yuan's voice was full of compassion, he did not discriminate against Buddhism, in the past five hundred years, Buddhism has also done countless good things, he just told a fact, that is, why Buddhism can flourish in the Central Plains!
"Heavenly reincarnation, in the past five hundred years, although the luck of the Han people has reached the lowest point, the Han people have grown little by little by virtue of their civilization advantages and accumulation.
At the worst time of the Wuhu Rebellion, the number of Han and Hu people was about the same, and they were only one step away from extinction, but by the time Yang Jian usurped the throne, the number of Han people had an overwhelming advantage, and the strength was even stronger.
After the Yang family usurped the throne, they had to conform to the general trend and declare themselves to be of Han blood, and at this time, the worst thing happened to Buddhism, and the world that lasted for 500 years of war and chaos actually began to be unified, and the Buddhism that was on the left and right could no longer seek greater benefits in it, and after the unification, the emperor also began to squeeze the living space of Buddhism -- why not kill Buddhism? Thousands of temples, hundreds of thousands of monks who are not engaged in production, and some temples are even amassing wealth without shame......
"Fart ......"
At this time, it was another monk who spoke, but he only said two words, and he was killed by Shi Zhixuan with one palm.
"Look at the bronze hall outside Luoyang City, if it is cast into copper coins, how many Li people can be relieved? Those monks actually have the face to openly place this thing, is this a heart of compassion, this is a Buddhist thief, this is the root cause of trouble for Buddhism!"
Speaking of the bronze hall, the people present had nothing to say, some people said that it was to store He's Bi, afraid of hurting others, the question is, didn't the emperor use He's Bi back then?
Wu Yuan glanced at Shi Zhixuan, and then continued.
"Fortunately, there are great hidden dangers in the Sui Dynasty, so Buddhism unites the major families to overthrow the Yang family's country together, and now the question arises, why did they choose Li Shimin, which makes countless people puzzled.
Then I'll tell you the mystery, because Cihang Jingzhai never thought that Li Shimin would succeed!"
"What!"
Even if Shi Zhixuan had already guessed a few percent of the answer, he still couldn't help but shout at this moment.
In Fanqinghui's heart, what is the most beneficial thing for Buddhism? It is the era of the five chaotic China, the era of confrontation between the north and the south, the era of great chaos in the world, and the era of the people of Li struggling and praying for salvation!
Buddhism is compassionate and accumulates good deeds, but Buddhism must also develop, overwhelm Middle-earth Taoism, and even Confucianism, so that the world becomes a Buddhist country, so a unified world should not appear!
Yes, most of the Buddhist disciples are looking forward to peace in the world, and most of the Buddhist disciples are good people, but for Fan Qinghui, the helmsman of Buddhism, the only thing she cares about is how to make Buddhism flourish!
That's the difference between a leader and an ordinary person!
Therefore, Fan Qinghui, who was in charge of selecting the real dragon, never thought that Li Shimin could succeed, she just needed to make an appearance, indicating that Buddhism was also involved in the battle for hegemony in the world, and then support an inconspicuous person with little chance of victory, and let him fight for the world.
At this time, the discerning people felt that Buddhism was dizzy, how could Buddhism choose the inconspicuous Li Shimin of the Li family? How could he be compared with Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Li Jiancheng, Yu Wenhua, and Song Que and others?
Buddhism is dizzy, and everyone naturally has a chance.
So, the heroes rose together, the Demon Gate mobilized all its forces to enter the battle for hegemony, everyone wanted to defeat the Buddha Gate, and everyone saw the possibility of success - if the Buddha Gate supported the strongest force at the beginning, or Li Yuan, let the Li family unify into a whole, then will you still bet heavily?
So, you are fighting for hegemony, but this is exactly in the hands of Fan Qinghui, not to let the Han people in the Central Plains, whose power occupies the mainstream, kill each other, and if you don't kill a thousand miles of uninhabited people, how can you let the situation of Wuhu chaos repeat itself?"
(To declare, I have no prejudice against Buddhism, I am very interested in both lines of Buddhism and Taoism, even if the beautiful MM of the missionary comes, I will be happy to invite her to tea, about the reason why Buddhism can be based on the Central Plains, you can take a look at some research materials, there are Futu Buddhism, Buddhism and other development research, by the way, later generations of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Qing, etc., are very respected for Buddhism, more than Taoism, and when the Han rule is over, Taoism is prosperous.
My analysis above is an analysis of the Tang Dynasty plane, not a hatred of Buddhism. (To be continued......)
